similar to: PATCH[001/001]: mboot.c: prefer ELF header over multiboot header

Hi, This patch ensures that mboot.c32 will always jump to a physical address when loading a Multiboot kernel. Some kernels are linked with a virtual entry point and without this patch these kernels are unbootable. Hope this helps, Matthew --- a/com32/modules/mboot.c 2009-04-03 09:48:08.000000000 +1000 +++ b/com32/modules/mboot.c 2009-04-03 09:48:16.000000000 +1000 @@ -650,6 +650,13 @@ static

Here is a patch that makes it possible to chainload GRUB2 core.img form chain.c32. It reuses the grub= parameter (used for chainloading GRUB Legacy stage2): - both loaded at 0x8000 - start execution at offset 0x200 (0x8200 in memory) GRUB2 allows to specify another "GRUB home dir" than the standard /boot/grub GRUB2 doesn't allow to change the configfile 'grub.cfg' name

More prep work for immutable biovecs - with immutable bvecs drivers won't be able to use the biovec directly, they'll need to use helpers that take into account bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done.

Biggest change is to switch the new DTB node to /xen-core-devices instead of /xen at Stefano''s request. I also dropped the few patches title HACK etc which weren''t supposed to be there and fixed up some bits and pieces which folks commented on. George, WRT the freeze I think this is functionality which we cannot ship Xen 4.4 without. The impact is entirely constrained to the

This series of patches makes Xen pass a (somewhat) valid device tree to dom0. The device tree for dom0 is the same as the one supplied to Xen except the memory and chosen nodes are adjusted appropriately. We don''t yet make use of the device tree to map MMIO regions or setup interrupts for the guest and we still include the UART used for Xen''s console. Note that loading Linux

First off, Apologies for the massive patch series... This series boots a 32-bit dom0 kernel to a command prompt on an ARMv8 (AArch64) model. The kernel is the same one as I am currently using with the 32 bit hypervisor I haven''t yet tried starting a guest or anything super advanced like that ;-). Also there is not real support for 64-bit domains at all, although in one or two places I
